Chapter 713 Visiting a Friend at the Machinery Factory



After wandering around in the mountains with the five little ones for over an hour, it was almost time for lunch, so the group slowly walked down the mountain.

When passing by the bushes where the bird was found, Xu Jianguo stopped, took the bird out of the space and placed it in the palm of his hand.

Sure enough, under the effect of the space well water, the bird that was originally dying has now regained its vitality.

However, because it was still too small, it could not fly at the moment. It could only move around in Xu Jianguo's palm, and occasionally make a few chirps.

Xu Jianguo looked up at the bird's nest on the tree, and after letting Lele stare at it for a while, he climbed up the tree and put the bird back into the nest.

Just as he had guessed before, there were six little birds in the small bird's nest. When they saw Xu Jianguo coming, they all stretched their necks, opened their mouths wide, and looked like they were waiting to be fed.

The mother bird was not in the nest at this time. She must have gone out to find food. Xu Jianguo did not delay any longer. After putting the little bird back into the nest, he jumped down from a tree branch seven or eight meters high and landed lightly on the ground.

The four girls didn't think much of it. Instead, Ding Wen, who was standing aside, had his big eyes lit up instantly after seeing what his father did.

Du Yu and Xu Xiaoshi prepared lunch again. They didn't have any hard dishes, but fried pancakes, dumpling soup, scrambled eggs with shrimps, braised beef and pickles.

I don’t know if it was because of the new environment, but the family’s appetite was surprisingly good. More than 20 fried cakes and a big pot of dumpling soup were cleaned up without any leftovers.

After lunch, the children played in the yard for a while and then followed Wen Sitian back to the house for a nap.

Xu Jianguo looked at the time, said hello to Wen Sitian, then flashed into the space, and then returned to Wen Sitian's home in Fu'an County through the Yuheng constellation on the Seven Star Teleportation Array.

With a flash of white light, Xu Jianguo appeared in the yard. He had not been back for a few years, and the yard looked a little dilapidated. The doors, windows and the ground were all covered with a thick layer of dust.

Xu Jianguo did not enter the house, but directly opened the Eye of Time and Space and looked inside and out. After confirming that no one had occupied their house secretly during the time they were away from home, he felt relieved.

After looking inside the house, Xu Jianguo looked outside the door again. After making sure that there was no one in the alley outside, he jumped onto the courtyard wall in a few steps and then jumped out of the yard.

The door lock on the gate had become a little rusty due to the erosion of wind and rain, but Xu Jianguo did not replace it. He thought it was fine to leave it like that.

After taking out two cloth bags from the space, Xu Jianguo walked out of the alley, preparing to visit Gao Wangshan at the Red Star Machinery Factory.

Standing at the factory gate, Xu Jianguo stared at the large characters with some paint peeling off for a long time. Scenes from the past flashed through his mind like movie scenes. He didn't come back to his senses until he was interrupted by the shout of the old man in the guard room.

Carrying a cloth bag, Xu Jianguo walked outside the guard room and handed in his military officer certificate and letter of introduction.

The old man carefully checked his ID, returned the things to him, asked about his purpose, and then let him go.

After thanking him, Xu Jianguo walked into the gate of the Red Star Machinery Factory with two bags in hand and headed towards the office building he remembered.

At this time, Gao Wangshan had just finished his nap. This was a habit he had developed in recent years. No matter how busy he was, as long as he had time, he would take a nap after lunch.

Thanks to the fact that Xu Jianguo had deciphered and translated the gearbox drawings left by the Sulian people a few years ago, and with the summary of the process flow, the Hongxing Machinery Factory has become a nationally renowned tractor gearbox manufacturer.

Because of Xu Jianguo's reminder, Gao Wangshan showed unprecedented enthusiasm when the storm just began. He held high the banner of upholding the central decision and became the director of the factory revolutionary committee without any suspense.

It is also because of this that many external forces that attempted to get involved in the machinery factory were firmly blocked outside the factory gate, thus minimizing the impact of the storm on the Red Star Machinery Factory.

And it was also under Gao Wangshan's special care that many cadres and workers in the factory were protected by him in the name of the Revolutionary Committee, including several old professors from Jingzhou College of Mechanical Engineering.

This also allowed those who originally did not understand Gao Wangshan to gradually discover some clues, appreciate his good intentions, and thus change their inherent impression of him.

From the initial opposition, it turned into support, and then to advocacy.

This series of changes made Gao Wangshan feel deeply moved, and he admired the young man Xu Jianguo to the extreme.

Gao Wangshan took a sip of tea and lit a cigarette for himself. He had just taken two puffs when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Gao Wangshan said.

As the words fell, the office door was pushed open from the outside. Gao Wangshan looked in the direction of the sound. When he saw the person walking in, he was stunned.

After a long while, he stood up from the chair, threw the half-smoked cigarette in his hand to the ground, and walked quickly towards Xu Jianguo with an expression of surprise on his face.

"Jianguo, why are you back? Am I dreaming?" Gao Wangshan was so excited that he was a little incoherent, holding his hand and said.

"Uncle Gao, long time no see! Are you okay?" Xu Jianguo said with a smile.

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Come and sit down. I'll pour you some water!" Gao Wangshan pulled Xu Jianguo into the house, pressed him on the single sofa, and then ran to the side to pour him some water.

"Don't bother, I'm not thirsty!"

"No, you have to drink even if you're not thirsty. Otherwise, if you go out and tell me I haven't even had a sip of water, how can I face people like you, Uncle Gao?"

Gao Wangshan handed the teacup to Xu Jianguo and spoke.

Xu Jianguo had no choice but to take the teacup, open the lid and take a big sip.

"Good boy, when did you come back? You've grown taller and stronger. Good, that's great!"

"I came back early this morning and didn't stay here. I went straight back to the village. Didn't I come to see you right after I settled down?"

"You have a conscience, kid. Xiaowen and the kids are back together?"

"Well, they're all back!"

"Why don't you bring it with you? Come home with me in the evening, let your aunt cook, and we can have a nice drink together."

When Xu Jianguo heard this, he waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I don't have time to eat the meal Auntie cooked this time. I will definitely go when I come back next time. Please tell Auntie."

"No, what do you mean? You finally came back, how come you don't even have time to eat a meal?"

So Xu Jianguo had to tell Gao Wangshan again that he only had two days of vacation, and finally promised that he would definitely come to his house for dinner next time he came back. Only then did Gao Wangshan let him go.
